The Safer Cities effort, launched on 6 April 2026, is in direct support of the PNP’s Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, and aligns with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to intensify visible policing and encourage a stronger sense of public security in daily life.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized that the initiative balances firmness with fairness. “Nandito tayo para protektahan ang publiko at siguruhing ang bawat Pilipino ay makakarinig at makakaramdam na ligtas sila,” he said, underscoring that operations must always respect human rights and the dignity of every citizen.

The PNP also reminds the public: observe city ordinances on public conduct, adhere to curfew hours for minors, avoid drinking in public spaces, and comply with traffic rules. Reporting of violations or any concern about law enforcement conduct is encouraged through official channels to ensure accountability and transparency.

These accomplishments under Safer Cities demonstrate early momentum in strengthening peace and order across urban communities. The PNP remains committed to serving with integrity and responsiveness as it advances the principles of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

EMPO KEEPS PRESSURE ON ILLEGAL DRUG TRADE IN CALOOCAN

Buy-Bust Operation Yields Over 4.7 Million of Suspected Shabu; Two Drug Personalities Arrested

Keeping up the momentum of its campaign to suppress illegal drug activity in Metro Manila, the National Capital Region Police Office carried out an anti-illegal drugs operation in Caloocan City on April 3, 2026, resulting in the arrest of two drug personalities and the confiscation of suspected shabu.

At about 8:04 PM, operatives of the Caloocan City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit conducted a buy-bust operation at Phase 12 Riverside, Barangay 188, Caloocan City, leading to the arrest of a High-Value Individual and a Street-Level Individual.

Recovered during the operation were eight pieces of transparent plastic sachets and knot-tied plastic packaging containing white crystalline substance believed to be shabu with a total weight of more or less 701.27 grams and a Standard Drug Price of ₱4,768,636.00. Also seized were the buy-bust money consisting of one genuine ₱500 bill and ten pieces of fake ₱1,000 bills, along with a black pouch bag used in the transaction.

The arrested High-Value Individual will face charges for Violation of Sections 5 and 11, Article II of Republic Act 9165, while the other suspect will be charged for Violation of Section 26, Article II of the same law.

PMGEN Anthony A Aberin, Regional Director of NCRPO, said the operation reflects how Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) continues to drive the region’s anti-illegal drugs campaign through coordinated, intelligence-driven, and procedure-based police action.

“This operation sends a clear message that those involved in the illegal drug trade will be pursued and made to answer before the law. NCRPO remains committed to lawful, coordinated, and sustained enforcement against illegal drugs across Metro Manila as we continue to protect communities, disrupt the movement of prohibited substances, and prevent further harm,” he said.
